Default FatBob rear fender swap

Looking for a rear fender similar to the other Dyna's like Street Bob, Super Gilde, Wide Glide etc. My dealer said a regular Dyna fender would not work due to the wider rear tire of the Fat Bob. Which fender are you guy's using that have made the change? I love everything about the bike except the stock rear fender. Any help will be appreciated.

This has been done a couple or three different ways,First I think the new Wide Glide fender will work as is.A standard Dyna fender can be made to work as well either by splitting it down the middle and adding metal or using spacers between the fender and fender rail and spreading the fender out some.It's been done both ways.

I thought about getting the wide glide fender but want a more full look. I been looking at this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/9-WIDE-13-3-...item4cf8cc0810 but not sure if I need the 13 3/8" radius or the 15 3/4' radius. I could drill my own holes and shape it the way I want.

My winter project, just have to figure out which size to get as far as the radius. I want it to fit tight.

No, you want a 2010 or newer Wide Glide fender.
